Abstract

There is provided p diffusion regions (18a, 18b) in the surface of an end portion of the n island (7) formed on the p.sup.- substrate (12). The insulation film (14) is formed on the n island (7) to form therein conductive plates (16a-16e). The p diffusion regions (18a, 18b) and, the conductive plates (16a-16e) are alternately arranged and so aligned that adjacent pairs of end portions thereof overlap with each other. Capacitances of capacitive coupling of the conductive plates (16a-16e) and the p diffusion regions (18a, 18b) are optimized so that potentials of the conductive plates (16a-16e) and the p diffusion regions (18a, 18b) can substantially linearly change from a low level to a high level. Thus, the concentration of electric field can be prevented.
